Source: Mindbody's pricing page, checked August 2026A comparison that says we win every row is not one you should trust. Here is where Mindbody genuinely does more.
Listing in the Mindbody consumer app puts a studio in front of what Mindbody describes as 3 million-plus active users. ColibriOS has no marketplace; your site earns its own traffic.
Source, checked August 2026Mindbody sells a branded app for your business as an add-on. ColibriOS is a website and a client portal, not a native app.
Source, checked August 2026The Ultimate plan includes 24/7 AI front desk support that turns missed calls into bookings. ColibriOS's assistant helps you, the owner, not your callers.
Source, checked August 2026Solo is $116/month, Group is $297, School is $597. That's the whole list. No demo gate, no per-location surprise, no quote. If a plan is wrong for you, the wrong one is visible from here rather than after a phone call. Weighing other studio tools too? Momence and Arketa are compared the same way.
No contracts and no lock-in. Your plan renews automatically, deliberately, so your site and your bookings never go dark on a forgotten payment, and you cancel it yourself from Settings → Billing in a couple of clicks. No email to write, no retention call. Your clients, offerings and invoices are yours, export them to CSV any time, including on the way out.
Income is tracked as it happens and expenses are categorized under Schedule C categories, so at tax time a year of numbers is one report to hand over. This is the piece most platforms treat as somebody else's problem, and it's included at every tier, not sold back to you.
Solo is for practitioners seeing clients one-to-one. Group adds classes, retreats and memberships when you start filling a room. School adds applications and admissions when you start training others; courses and student portals are on every plan. Each tier contains the one before it, so moving up is a switch, not a migration.
Colibri helps you organize your income and expenses. It is not a tax preparer, accountant, or a substitute for professional tax advice.
